Bookroo's summary

Private Michael Donovan is dropped into chaos on D-Day, separated from his unit in enemy-occupied France. With no weapon or supplies, he must navigate the perilous landscape to reunite with his platoon. Can Donovan rely on his instincts to survive the Lion's Den, or will time run out in this deadly mission?

From the publisher

On June 6, 1944, Private First Class Michael Donovan and 13,000 U.S. Paratroopers soar over the English Channel toward their Drop Zone in enemy-occupied France. Their mission: capture the town of Carentan from the Germans and secure an operations base for Allied forces. Suddenly, the sky explodes with anti-aircraft fire, and Donovan’s C-47 Skytrain is hit! Within moments, the troops exit the aircraft and plummet toward a deadly destination. On the ground, Donovan finds himself alone in the Lion’s Den without food, shelter, or a weapon. In order to survive, the rookie soldier must rely on his instincts and locate his platoon before time runs out.
